Top Fuel Dragster built and raced by "Big Daddy" Don Garlits in the early '60s. The first dragster to break into the 7 second range or to hit 200 mph (one of those, I forget which).

Or the engine in your face. Brutal.

Dean Van Lines Special - an early '60s Champ Car raced at Indy and other tracks by Eddie Sachs. Powered by an extremely evil sounding Offy engine.
